'Ben' by Michael Jackson is stuck in my head like chewing gum to the carpet. Aaargh. Did you know that that song was about his rat? Amazing. Spent most of today doing beta at work. How satisfying to get it done, after deleting it all by mistake yesterday. My head's in a bit of a whirl this week - I feel all fretful and like I can't concentrate. I'm sure this is down to reading too much slash recently. When I do that, it's as though my imagination gets too full, and it's all I can think about. My new West Wing fad is the cause.

In last night's episode of 'Manchild', two of the male characters were fantasising about lesbians to each other. It made me think about how acceptable that is, for men to be into gay women, it's seen as normal. How abnormal it would be considered if it had been two women having a similar conversation, but about gay men. I've never seen anything like that on TV or in films. I can't help feeling a bit sidelined.

I'm a member of the rat club. Do you have any idea how many of the rats are called Ben? Nearly as many as are called Basil.
